NASA federal obligations in Maryland
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration shows $24,076,542,821.09 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Maryland, across 2,367 awards. Awarding-agency 080 and Maryland (MD) are the pair. Science-center folklore is not a packet field. $24,076,542,821.09 is an obligation join, not a telescope inventory and not cash already paid.
Key figures
- NASA in Maryland: $24,076,542,821.09 across 2,367 USAspending awards.
- Implied mean about $10.2 million per record.
- Agency 080 × MD does not name Goddard and does not count missions.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
NASA awards on a Maryland tag
National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency, Maryland as place-of-performance: 2,367 records summing to $24,076,542,821.09. A NASA award in Virginia is a different cell. A Defense aerospace award in Maryland sits under agency 097, not 080.
The implied mean is about $10.2 million per award. Center contracts and instrument development can share the 2,367-row file. This packet does not itemize missions.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Maryland is the overlay. Maryland federal spending is the all-agency state hub. All spending ties lists other pairs. Two thousand three hundred sixty-seven NASA records in Maryland are not a Goddard ledger. $24,076,542,821.09 is the obligation sum for agency 080 inside MD coding. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Maryland does not include Defense aerospace (097) even when the work sounds adjacent.
Unnamed Greenbelt geography
Goddard and other campus names are not packet facts. This page does not assign $24,076,542,821.09 to a named center. Place-of-performance on NASA awards often follows center geography, and 2,367 rows can be dominated by a few vehicles.
Hubble servicing counts and Earth-science paper tallies are not USAspending fields. $24,076,542,821.09 does not grade science. It sums obligations. Maryland did not cause the cell by sitting next to the capital. The join is 080 × MD. Correlation is not causation. Telescope and Earth-science stories attach easily. Paper counts are not packet facts. Linking $24,076,542,821.09 to those series is a new extract. Maryland federal spending still includes the Defense join and every other awarding agency.
Multi-year science vehicles
Observatory and center-management contracts often obligate ahead of outlays. $24,076,542,821.09 can include amounts still unpaid. Citing it as cash already spent in Maryland misreads the award file.
Annapolis’s budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with 2,367 NASA awards leaves USAspending.gov. Maryland NASA’s 2,367 records are not a Goddard ledger. $24,076,542,821.09 is agency 080 inside MD coding. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Maryland does not include Defense aerospace under 097. Telescope counts are unpublished. The implied mean near $10.2 million is a ratio of two packet facts.
Statewide MD only
This packet does not split $24,076,542,821.09 by county. 2,367 awards stay statewide. A center-perimeter table would be a different extract.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 hub without a Maryland filter. Use it for the agency book. Instrument-contract restatements can move 2,367 and $24,076,542,821.09 together. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Maryland is the overlay. Goddard ledgers remain unnamed here because the packet does not name centers.
Citing NASA in Maryland
Cite USAspending.gov: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (080) obligated $24,076,542,821.09 on 2,367 awards coded to Maryland. Name NASA and Maryland together. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as a named-center appropriation.
Prefer National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Maryland if the overlay moved. Do not convert $24,076,542,821.09 into missions or jobs. Maryland federal spending still includes the Defense join. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Prefer the overlay after ingests; 2,367 rows can move when one vehicle restates. Keep the obligation label. USAspending.gov is the source, not a science-paper index.
How to cite NASA in Maryland
Cite National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Maryland, $24,076,542,821.09, and 2,367 awards. All spending ties lists other pairs. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 parent. Do not add those parents to this cell.
Do not convert the total into missions or jobs. Do not treat 2,367 as unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field. A few vehicles can dominate a 2,367-row mean. Prefer the overlay National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Maryland if the live table moved. Keep the obligation label. USAspending.gov is the source. Cite 2,367 awards with $24,076,542,821.09 whenever the Maryland NASA cell is reused.
Questions
- How much has NASA obligated in Maryland?
- USAspending.gov records $24,076,542,821.09 in NASA obligations across 2,367 Maryland-coded awards. Agency 080 × MD is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a center ledger. USAspending.gov is the originating system. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Maryland is the live overlay for this pair. $24,076,542,821.09 remains an obligation sum, not an outlay, across 2,367 awards.
- Is this the Goddard budget?
- The packet does not name centers. $24,076,542,821.09 and 2,367 awards are statewide for awarding agency 080 in Maryland. Center books are a different extract. This packet publishes only the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) join inside Maryland coding. Unique recipients are unpublished. Quote $24,076,542,821.09 and 2,367 together.
- Does this include NOAA or Defense space awards in Maryland?
- No. This cell is awarding agency 080 only. Other agencies’ Maryland awards sit in other joins even when the work is space-related. SpendingVault indexes the pair; it does not convert $24,076,542,821.09 into cash already paid. Later ingests can revise 2,367 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
- Where is the live table?
- National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Maryland is the overlay. Maryland federal spending and National Aeronautics and Space Administration are the parents. All spending ties lists other pairs. Maryland federal spending and National Aeronautics and Space Administration are parent hubs, not addends. All spending ties lists other agency-state pairs. Keep both sides of the join when citing $24,076,542,821.09. Obligations are not outlays.
USAspending.gov aggregate of federal obligations by state and awarding agency. Obligations are not outlays.
